Chapter 153 Hate the East Passes Away, and the Famous General Falls (7)
"Zhou Gongjin is dead...... A generation of famous generals has fallen, and there is one less hero in the world! ”
When the news reached Xiangyang City, the generals were surprised, but also started to think, some people proposed that while Zhou Yu died of illness, the Jiangdong army was leaderless, and should send troops to attack overnight, and it would inevitably win a big victory!
Some people also suggested that if Zhou Yu's body was snatched, the head was cut off and sent to Xuchang to offer Jie, the prime minister would definitely be rewarded, as for Mrs. Xiao Qiao...... Hehe!
But as soon as the proposal appeared, it was forcibly suppressed by Xiao Yi, when Zhou Yu was alive, he could show mercy to his subordinates, and now that people are dying, why waste the corpse?
Therefore, he was strictly ordered to press the troops and did not move, and sent Mi Heng as a messenger, carrying a lot of sacrificial things, going to the Jiangdong camp to pay filial piety, and personally splashed ink and wrote a couplet:
Shanglian: majestic hair, lupine scarf, the world's heroes are out of my generation;
Downlink: Heaven is jealous of talents, ambitions are not rewarded, and the fall of the stars makes people sad!
Horizontal criticism: The afterlife is the enemy!
A master once said: In life, if you want to make meritorious achievements, you must have an opponent, the stronger the opponent's ability and the more numerous, the greater the meritorious career you have established, because only a strong opponent can force out the full potential!
Sun Bin can become a master of the art of war because of Pang Juan's vicious persecution, forcing him to take revenge; Gou Jian's ability to leave a name in history is a great humiliation for a poor husband, forcing him to lie on his salary and taste his courage, destroy the enemy and dominate!
Similarly, Xiao Yi is now in a high-ranking position and dominates, relying on strong enemies: Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Liu Bao, Gongsun Du...... The heads of countless heroes fell to the ground, casting the name of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang'!
Zhou Yu is one of the best, can be called a rare enemy in life, no matter how many grievances there were before, now they have turned into a cloud of smoke, as an old man who has known each other for many years, he should be sent on the last journey!
In addition, deceitful death is also one of the art of war, sending Mi Heng to condole, I also want to confirm whether Zhou Yu has really returned to heaven, if it is true, by the way, contact the Jiangdong generals, don't delay the discussion and major events!
"Qiqi Da Sima: Zhou Gongjin has indeed fallen, and his subordinates went to the mourning hall to worship, offered a couplet, and paid homage to his remains, which is very pitiful!
Listening to the people in Jiangdong, after Zhou Gongjin returned to the camp, he vomited blood more than once, and when he was dying, he shouted several times to Xiangyang City: 'Both Shengyu, He Shengyi', and finally died with hatred!
However, the generals in Jiangdong did not resent Da Sima, and Lu Su was even more polite, and entertained his subordinates with a banquet, and was willing to strike the troops and negotiate peace between the two sides, so that the people of the south and north could recuperate! ”
That night, Mi Heng ran back, his little face flushed, obviously receiving a warm hospitality, confirming the news of Zhou Yu's fall, and bringing back a letter, which was written by the new governor Lu Su himself!
Among the generals in Jiangdong, Lu Su was well-known for his honesty, honesty and credibility, and he reiterated the matter of peace in his letter, and also solemnly made a promise: as soon as the 'first seven' of the governor of Zhou passed, the army would immediately withdraw eastward without a single day of delay!
"A generation of famous generals has fallen, there is one less enemy in the world, and the sword in my hand is difficult to use!"
Knowing that Zhou Yu had really passed away, Xiao Yi sat for a long time, and finally sighed, clasped his fist at Dongfang three times, without a strong opponent, his life became more and more lonely!
In the face of Lu Su's sincerity, Xiao Yi asked Mi Heng to make a second envoy, and sent some grain, grass, and dried meat to be used on the retreat of the Jiangdong Army!
wrote another private letter, which was addressed to Mrs. Xiao Qiao, and while comforting the pain, he also made it clear: 'If it is difficult to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, you can bring your children to the north, and you will treat each other as a distinguished guest!' ’
On November 8, the tenth year of Jian'an, the Jiangdong army sang a lamentation song, carried the coffin of the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu, and embarked on the road back to his hometown in the gusty cold wind......
The 120,000 army went out to fight, fought for several months, lost more than half of the men and horses, consumed countless money and food, and killed a metropolitan governor.
Just when people were talking about it, thinking that the Jiangdong Group was no longer majestic, this exhausted defeated army did a shocking thing on the way back to the division!
On November 21, when the Jiangdong army entered the Yangtze River waterway and passed through Jiangxia County, it held the 'Sanqi' ceremony for Zhou Yu, and local officials and guards came to worship, but Lu Su set up an ambush and captured all these people, and then conquered Xiling City in one fell swoop!
Liu Beijun's elite soldiers and fierce generals were all attacking the counties of Jingzhou, and the only ones who stayed in Jiangxia County were the civil official Sun Qian, the newly defected young general Meng Da, and Guan Yu, who was recuperating here.
Sun Gan and Meng Da went to mourn and became prisoners without preparation, although Guan Yu was brave and brave, but the injuries on his body were not healed, and he could not lead the army to fight, and as a result, all the cities in Jiangxia County fell into the hands of the Jiangdong army.
It turned out that before Zhou Yu attacked Xiangyang, he had a premonition that he was more than lucky, so he left Lu Su a secret letter, which contained two strategies:
One is 'jade burning', if you die on the battlefield, you don't have to hide the news of your death, but the whole army mourns, and prepares grass, trees, sulfur and other fire-causing things in the camp, and ambushes soldiers and horses on the periphery!
As long as Xiao Yi comes to snatch the corpse, immediately set fire to the camp, burn a jade stone, and kill the soldiers and horses on the periphery, the corpse robber will inevitably come and go, this is to pull someone to accompany the funeral!
As a result, Xiao Yi was open-minded, not only did he not snatch the corpse, but instead sent a messenger to send a couplet to show his mourning, this trick 'jade burning' failed, Zhou Yuquan knows, I don't know what to think?
After Zhou Yu's death, the Jiangdong army will inevitably retreat eastward, and Jiangxia County is the only way, Sun and Liu are still allies, and when they learn the news of Zhou Yu's death, the officials left behind will inevitably come to worship!
The Jiangdong Army took this opportunity to capture the officials who came to worship, and then seized Jiangxia County in one fell swoop, Jiangxia County is the east gate of Jingzhou, not only the strategic location is important, but also the population is large, the city is rich, the Jiangdong Army will snatch it in hand, it is not in vain.
At the beginning, Sun and Liu agreed that the eastern part of Jingzhou was owned by Jiangdong, and now it is justified to rob Jiangxia County, and Lu Su is kind, only robbing the city and not harming people's lives, and sending Sun Qian, Meng Da, and Guan Yuli back to Jiangling afterwards can be regarded as leaving leeway!
More importantly, Zhou Yu died, Jiangdong withdrew his troops, and the strong pressure of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang had to be borne by Liu Bei independently, in this case, Liu Bei did not dare to break with Jiangdong and provoke another enemy, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Before Zhou Yu died, he could still set up a clever plan to seize a county city for Jiangdong, which is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and is worthy of the trust of the Sun family!
Next, Sun Quan officially issued an order to appoint Lu Su as the governor of the capital, commanding a section of Jiangdong men and horses, stationed in Jiangxia County, while recuperating, accumulating grain and storing grain, while training soldiers and horses, and watching the situation!
Zhou Yu's coffin was sent to Wu County by boat, and Sun Quan led officials of all sizes to the dock to greet him, and personally carried the officials off the boat, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and the military and civilian spectators all wept......
After forty-nine days of solemn sacrifice, they were buried next to Gusutai, next to Sun Ce's tomb.
However, Zhou Yu's funeral was very grand, but things did not go well after his death, for Mrs. Xiao Qiao and the three children, Sun Quan neither visited nor knighted, but only gave a few acres of thin land and a small amount of property, even after the compassionate heroes!
Because of the problem of the heir, Sun Quan has always held a grudge against Zhou Yu, but he didn't dare to show it, he personally carried the coffin and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly before, all for outsiders to see, so as to win over the hearts of Jiangdong people, and treat orphans and widows lightly in the future, which is the true color of blue-eyed children!

"We can't fight anymore, and if we fight again, we'll lose both!"
"But how can you not fight, for fear that the trees will be quiet and the wind will not stop?"
………………
In Xiangyang City-Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Xiao Yi is looking at the map, with black, red, and white flags on it, representing the forces of Cao, Liu, and Sun, all over Jingzhou, forming a staggered trend!
Among them, Liu Bei is the most powerful, occupying Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling, Wuling, as well as the southern part of Nanjun and the western part of Zhangling, about five counties, and he is already dominant!
However, the southern counties of Jingzhou - sparsely populated, limited in products, and close to the Baiyue tribe, the border has never been peaceful, Liu Bei wants to gain a firm foothold, I am afraid it will take some time.
Xiao Yi's power is second, controlling Nanyang, Xiangyang, as well as the northern part of Nanjun and the eastern part of Zhangling County, about three counties, these places are rich in products and densely populated, accounting for half of Jingzhou's household registration!
Sun Quan was even more second, only getting one Jiangxia County, but fortunately, the strategic location there was important, and the people's livelihood was relatively rich, which somewhat made up for the loss of Jiangdong Group!
However, Zhou Yu was defeated and died, Jiangdong's vitality was greatly injured, and he had already withdrawn from the battle, and the next step was the contest between Xiao Yi and Liu Bei to see who could dominate Jingzhou!
In his bones, Xiao Yi is a belligerent person, he wants to fight with Pang Tong, Kong Ming, and Xu Shu, kill him like a mountain, and the blood will flow like a river, and snatch back the southern part of Jingzhou, and he will also have a bad breath in his chest!
However, after several major battles, his descendants were killed and wounded, and their ordnance, grain and grass were not sufficient, and they were really powerless to compete with Liu Bei's group, and more importantly, the rear was unstable!
Although the main force of Cao's army retreated to the north, the losses of the defeat were too great, the treasury was exhausted, and the people complained, Hebei, Liaodong, and Huainan ...... There have been civil uprisings, and Cao Jun has suppressed them everywhere, and they are already in a hurry!
Moreover, Cao Cao's army was defeated and fled back, his prestige plummeted, and some of the scenes could not be suppressed, those loyal ministers of the Han family, the suppressed scholars and gate lords, and frequently connected in private, and there was a momentum of resurgence!
Cao Ying's internal peace is also not peaceful, the contradictions between clan generals and generals with different surnames, and the competition between Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang...... It all made Cao Cao exhausted, and he couldn't solve it!
Therefore, in recent days, Cao Cao has sent three secret orders in a row, asking Xiao Yi to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and return to Xuchang to help him take charge of the overall situation.
In this case, Xiao Yi has great skills, and he doesn't dare to fight anymore, but if the two sides negotiate peace, can he agree, will Liu Bei agree?
